07All the facts

Everything you need to know, in one place.

Costs, insurance, cancellations, what to wear, and when physio isn’t the right first step. Flip a switch to read.

  • No. You can book yourself in directly. If you’re claiming on insurance, some insurers want a GP referral first, so check your policy.

  • 60 minutes: we talk through your history, assess how you move, explain what’s going on in plain English and start treatment. You leave with a written plan and exercises in our app.

  • Assessment £70, follow-ups £55. Most people need 3–6 sessions in total, so typically £235–£400. Packages bring that down. We’ll tell you honestly at the first session.

  • It secures your slot and stops no-shows, which keeps waiting times short for everyone. Cancel or move for free up to 24 hours before. Inside 24 hours, the fee is kept.

  • We’re recognised by most major UK insurers. Pay when you book and we’ll send an itemised invoice to claim back, or bring your authorisation code and we’ll bill the insurer and refund you.

  • Every clinician is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). “Physiotherapist” is a protected title in the UK. Their numbers are on this page.

  • Something you can move in. Shorts for knee, hip or ankle problems, a vest top for shoulders and backs. Running shoes if it’s a running injury.

  • Yes, £55 for 45 minutes. Great for exercise-based rehab, follow-ups, and anyone who can’t get to Clifton easily.

  • Call 999 for chest pain, sudden weakness or loss of control of bladder or bowel. For numbness around the saddle area, unexplained weight loss or feeling unwell with pain, contact NHS 111 or your GP the same day.

  • Whiteladies Road, Clifton BS8, a 10-minute walk from Clifton Down station. Pay-and-display on nearby streets and plenty of buses. Ground-floor treatment rooms.
